Re: Controlling Berserker Artillery

<t>Now that I understand why the units are moving without any command by me, I have a better appreciation of what to do. It seems that much of the movement is created (in the tutorial) by other Confederate troops moving and getting in the way. I can practise now with more confidence.<br/> <br/> And ...

Controlling Berserker Artillery

<t>Hi, again.<br/> <br/> I have graduated to the 3rd tutorial and experience a reoccurring theme - I bring my units to the 2nd marker, unlimber them as the Union infantry starts to advance, and then individual units start running around like chickens without heads. This activity is characterized by ...

Music - Silence is Golden

<t>Much as I have appreciated the music playing at the start of scenarios and the historical flavor it lends to the game, I am now hoping there is a commandline switch that will disable it (or at least change the selection). I don't wish to permanently burn the music in my brain.<br/> <br/> Is there...

Re: "Winning" the 2nd Tutorial

<r>Thanks for the advice.<br/> <br/> I thought I tried what you suggested but it might have been in one of my earlier debacles. I will give it another go.<br/> <br/> In the meantime, I have learned another way to lose quickly - sigh. I left my commander in no-man's land and he was killed - <E>:(</E>...

"Winning" the 2nd Tutorial

<t>Hello again.<br/> <br/> As I continue to learn with the 2nd tutorial, I am still having difficulties with moving the units under my command. I imagine though that this issue will resolve itself as I become more comfortable with the UI (and moving that darn camera around) and learn a few keyboard ...

Re: Newbie - Using the Camera in Hilly Terrain

Thank you for your quick reply!

I have set the options to "Seasoned" and am giving that a try. I just hope that the AI does not "bake" me with the higher setting - ;)

Newbie - Using the Camera in Hilly Terrain

<t>I am slowly working my way thru the tutorials (I am currently in the 2nd).<br/> <br/> This tutorial involves moving and fighting with units on a "severe" hill and I have had great difficulty positioning the camera in order to view my units and the progress of the battle. I have even experimented ...
